EIS tax reliefs available
Investors will receive individual EIS3 certificates allowing them to claim tax relief.
Taken together, for an additional rate taxpayer, these reliefs can reduce your net exposure so that, in some cases, you may risk as little as 38.5p for every £1 invested.
Please note: Investments must be held for 3 years to achieve all 5 tax reliefs. Tax reliefs are dependent upon investor’s circumstances. The investments described in this website will place your capital at risk. We strongly suggest that you seek specialist tax advice; Parkwalk does not provide investment or tax advice, and the information on this website should not be construed as such. Tax benefits below are as at November 2025. Loss Relief reduces the impact of a loss but does not eliminate it entirely.
